Meghan Markle, Prince Harry must follow this baby's name, report says

As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle prepare to become parents for the first time there is no doubt the couple are blow-drying up on the royal protocol they must follow after the birth.

But there's good news for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – the expectant parents will be much less about which names they can choose for their child.

While there is an unspoken rule in the throne of the throne, it is important that these thrones become more important.

A perfect example is Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew, who did the royal equivalent of naming their daughters Blanket and Apple by choosing the names Beatrice and Eugenie.

"Carolyn Harris, author of" Raising Royalty: 1,000 Years of Royal Parenting, "told Vogue Australia.

"We see, from the diversity of names among the Queen's descendants, that the Queen does seem willing to allow the descendants to choose their own names."

However, there is still one tradition. Meghan and Harry are expected to follow their baby names so they can tell Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the family.

According to the Royal Commentator Victoria Arbiter the reasons for this is so they can celebrate their arrival.

"Royals, however, are also considered to be important in the future." "I expect they want to be a hundred percent certain of their choice before announcing the baby's place in history," Arbiter told Town and Country.

Despite the more relaxed rules dictating what Meghan and Harry will do, UK bookies are still tipping the couple will pick a traditional royal name.

Victoria, Arthur, Albert, and Diana are hot favorites, as are the names of Harry's grandparents, Elizabeth and Philip.
